knight news challenge

After nearly a year of research into collaboration tools, the release of Drupal Commons for D7 brought all the pieces together for our project in a an unexpected way. The project is entered in the Knight News Challenge. Please head over to http://kng.ht/15XiUJN to add your feedback or applaud the project so we can get BLDG20 made and contributed back to the Drupal Community.

Give some feedback at the Knight News Challenge on BLDG20

Vote up our Drupal-based entry into the Knight News Challenge! http://newschallenge.tumblr.com/post/19436436704/vozmob-mobile-voices-af...

This proposal will support continued development of the VozMob Drupal distribution, which includes completing the Drupal 7 upgrade of various contributed modules.

VozMob - https://vozmob.net/ - "amplifies the voices of those excluded from the digital public sphere, by appropriating mobile phones for community-based journalism."

VozMob (Voces Móviles / Mobile Voices) has submitted an application for the Knight News Challenge, "Drupal for Mobile Journalism by Immigrants in Los Angeles". Please check it out, provide feedback and rate it! http://bit.ly/vozmob-drupal-knight

Hello all Drupal Dojo users! I thought it would be a good idea to have some Drupal ninjas read and comment my proposal to the Knight Foundation for faveeo.com as the deadline is coming quickly for the news challenge and we hope to get the best proposal as possible!

If you are interested in the topics of information management, social agregation, information overload and community-based news networks, please have a look!

The idea is simply to get some ideas going and get some constructive critizism from the Drupal Dojo about this quite complex project!

Pete P-O presented on the Open Media toolset during the last meet-up, and we've finally settled on a date for a meet-and-greet for anyone who wants to learn more about the project or get involved. The Open Media Project partners and raSANTIAGO are hosting the social at 3:30 p.m.

As we near the completion of year-1 of the Open Media Project, I thought it might be useful to provide a brief history so-far. Part of my agreement in winning the Knight News Challenge grant that made the Open Media Project possible was to post frequent updates to the PBS Idealab Blog. Looking back, those entries provide a good timeline of year-1, and a look forward at year 2.

You can see all 10 entries at http://www.pbs.org/idealab/tony_shawcross_1/

Thanks to heroic work by SofiaJT

You can see iterations of the process on the Indymedia development wiki.

And the final submitted proposal on the NewsChallenge.org site.

Hello,

Since this group consists of people who are thinking about digital news, I would like to invite everyone to submit good ideas to this year's Knight News Challenge. All entries must be in by 11:59 p.m. on November 1, 2008, which means there are only 24 days left. You can submit your application at http://newschallenge.org/
